What do you have? Year? Make? Model? How many miles on the engine? Also yo probably won't see hardly any hp gains pass 5hp with those mods. no need for the injectors yet

Assuming you are talking about an 87-93 5.0 motor that's in good running condition I would say 210-220 at the wheels after everything you listed.
With that setup you should stick with 19lber's unless you plan on changing the heads soon after.
You should have gained quite a bit of power from the list of mods you have now. You won't gain much more from the pulleys, maf, and pump

BTW if you are looking for suggestions on what to do next I would save your money for a set of heads and a cam, a blower, or NOS.
If you don't want to spend that much on go fast stuff then start on the suspention. Springs, shocks, subframes, rear control arms, strut and k-member brace.
If you don't have one already you should get a short shifter for sure ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

What would a rough estimate be if I do heads/cam?(parts&labor)$$$
I'll still need the maf and injectors right?

It all depends on what setup you go with. A new set of Trick Flow or Edelbrock heads will run you around $1000-$1100, cam will be between $130-$150. You will also need rockers, pushrods, timing set, and gaskets. Probably a few other smaller things. I would guess you should budget between $1700-$2000 just for the parts. I have no idea how much labor would be to install.
Yes, you should go with bigger injectors/maf, fuel pump, and an adjustable fuel regulator.
With all of this you should be putting out somewhere between 255-275 at the wheels.

The injectors won't gain you anything. You will see a few HP from the pulley's and maf but not enough to notice much of a difference.
IMO swapping out the maf won't gain you enough HP to justify the money unless you plan on upgrading injectors to support HCI, blower, or NOS.

out of those future mods, the pulleys are the only thing that would give you power. a good 8-10 at the wheels too
